Review of 'My Salty Mary'
I absolutely loved this book. There’s no doubt about it, My Salty Mary was everything I didn’t know I wanted in a little mermaid retelling.

Sophmoronic: Chapter Four
Cyrus sat next to Tiffany in World History AP. She smiled at him, fixing her hair over her shoulder. Her green eyes seemed to light up when she met his gaze. Or maybe that was just his imagination.

Review of 'Bloodguard'
Okay, I wanted to like Bloodguard. I was incredibly excited when it was announced because I love both Dungeons and Dragons and Gladiator. So, needless to say, my expectations were high.

Sophmoronic: Chapter Two
Silvia sat by the pool, waiting for Lucita to get home. It was close to 6pm, and she still hadn’t come home. Silvia wondered if Luci stayed at her mother’s work until her mother got off. Was it a ploy to avoid everyone like she had done this summer.? Or was it just convenience? Silvia wondered about a lot of stuff. Despite this, Silvia remained seated by the pool, waiting for her, twiddling her thumbs. Her body jerked when someone began laughing. Over at the creaky pool gate, leaning over, stood Blake, staring at her like the jerk he was.

Review of ' Face the Night'
Western and fantasy: I now know books encompassing both exist, but it doesn’t feel like it would be something I would read. Now, Face the Night delivered in ways I didn’t imagine I would enjoy, and I think the core of that has to go with Forbes’ storytelling.

Sophmoronic: Chapter One
Lucita sat in her mother’s car as they went to school. In the passenger side mirror, she caught her reflection. Her eyes were heavily lined in black eyeliner. Her mother had told her not to wear so much muck on her face, but Lucita didn’t care, and her mother had just sighed and let her be and even fixed it, smudging the side of the eyelid to repair her flare. Lucita looked over at her mother, who smiled at her sweetly. Smiling back briefly, she turned to look back at her reflection. She was tired, having arrived the night before last from Chicago; she was more than just physically exhausted. Her trip had been emotionally exhausting, as she had to deal with her stupid family.

Review of 'Little Thieves'
The Goose Girl is one of those fairy tales that doesn’t get enough attention, and it’s nice to see another fairytale told other than the typical ones.

Review of 'Ever Since'
Moving and powerful, Ever Since is not the typical novel I would pick up. However, I’m so thankful that I did; even as challenging as some scenes were, this novel is about solidarity and survival, the lasting marks trauma leaves on the victims, and how they can overcome it.
